Before, the ball worked entirely on angle calculations when it hit a surface and set it's speed and direciton accordingly. Though this did work as a quick and easy solution, but it also created moments where the ball could get stuck, move slow, or not take a surface it's already touching into consideration for its bounce angle.
Although it does still use angle calculations, it'll adjust it's speed to where it needs to be, applies the force rather than setting the direction and speed directly, and allows for extra cool effects on the ball (currently, the ball gets a small "initial boost" which looks satisfying with the trail.

Reworked the ball movement to work more with physics.
Next up
Quite a few changes since the last time I showed off. - The grid lines are thinner - The colors are Blue and Red - A few new structures - A whole row taken out from the grid And more in-depth explanations in the article (with pictures)!
Just showing off some cool stuff for a horror game I'm starting named Till Dawn!
This game is undergoing an entire remake! I'm making it in GameMaker Studio 2 this time (as opposed to Unity), and I plan to add Online Multiplayer to this version! Very early stages but I am excited to share the progress on it!
So what's next for the game? More hazards, and more level templates. I'll also be looking for a song artist able to produce music that mixes themes of chiptune from the games Crawl and Undertale.
